Watch This Before You See All Together Now | Netflix
162What do you get when you combine a writer with a talent for telling stories with quirky, lovable characters, a director who specializes in heartwarming films, and an all-star cast of funny, musically talented actors? You get All Together Now, which debuts on Netflix on August 28.
Directed by Brett Haley and starring Auli'i Cravalho, the movie tells the story of bright, determined high school student Amber Appleton's quest to achieve her musical dreams despite struggling with a shameful secret, all while learning how to let others help her as much as she helps others.
Will you laugh? Will you cry? The answer to both is "yeah, probably." Here's everything you need to know before you watch All Together Now.
All Together Now is based on a 2011 novel called Sorta Like a Rockstar by Matthew Quick, a name that might be familiar to anyone who enjoyed the Oscar-winning 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook. He wrote the book that the Bradley Cooper- and Jennifer Lawrence-starring movie was based on, so it should be no surprise that his other published works are making their way to Hollywood as well. So what's this latest Quick-penned movie all about?
When you're in high school, keeping secrets is second nature. Who you're crushing on, how quickly you rushed through your homework you know the drill. But one of the biggest secrets a high school student might keep is how different they are from their peers, or what struggles they might be going through at home. That's the sort of struggle Amber Appleton faces in All Together Now.
See, Amber is a talented, ambitious, and caring young woman who is beloved by teachers, students, and members of the community in equal measure. But no one knows that she and her mother are homeless, a fact that complicates her hopes of auditioning for the music program at Carnegie Mellon University. How can someone whose every waking moment is spent caring for others learn how to accept a little care for herself?
